SARInet: COVID-19 and Influenza’s surveillance integration.
Within the framework of the Sarinet Network, between March 29 and 31, the expert consultation on the integration of COVID-19 surveillance with influenza and other respiratory virus surveillance was held in Panama. This activity had the following purposes: 1. identify the priorities of the countries in the surveillance of COVID-19, influenza and other respiratory viruses to respond to the current pandemic and future epidemics; 2. determine how sentinel surveillance and complementary surveillance systems should be organized to respond to these challenges; 3. help countries overcome obstacles to surveillance beyond COVID-19.
